Looks like a nice car. Low mileage. But what's the price? I see the reserve was not met. $33,811 is about the right price. And if it doesn't feel right, then maybe you should keep looking. Your the one that has to be happy with your purchase. Good Luck.

You will know when the right Vette comes along. Until then, don't rush it.

You've been there before with your previous Vert. Take your time and shop around. When you find your perfect Vette (or should I say, when it finds you)... it will just feel right and deep down inside you will know.

Looking at the eBay Vette you passed on... we don't know what the reserve is, but looks like the price has gone above it being a good deal. (Or so to me anyway.)

Good luck...

I spent nearly a year looking for the perfect car nationally...and it found me locally. As others have said, it'll be easy to pull the trigger when you find the one you want.

Just another "Wait until it feels right before you purchase" comment. When the car for you comes along, you won't hesitate - you'll know it is the one. Good luck.

Jeff, thanks for that. I am going to make the call tomorrow and if the car is still available I am going to leave a deposit. If its sold, so be it. I dont know any of you guys out there, but there is some comfort having people to run things past. Thanks to all
